Chapter 886: Chapter 836: Grasping the Heavenly Immortal, Ghost Immortal Chunyang
Actually, according to reason, Pei Xuanjing should have been part of the generation rising after the revival of Heaven and Earth, but with the aid of the Life Simulator, he had crossed countless spans of time, arriving at a realm comparable to those powerhouses who had accumulated thousands of years of strength.
At that time, he had already transformed into a True Immortal, becoming one of the true powerhouses commanding Heaven and Earth. Naturally, there was no need for him to personally enter the fray anymore, so everything was entrusted to his disciples. It was now his disciples’ turn to battle for supremacy under the heavens.
Pang Hong was well aware of this situation; he understood that, truth be told, he was a generation behind those so-called peerless geniuses and evil demons, but this world was fundamentally about the hierarchy of strength. Although he was younger in age, Pang Hong’s current power and status were enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with them.
This time’s contention was not just for himself, but also for his master and likewise for the Shenxiao Sect. This was the inescapable duty of being the Junior Leader of the Shenxiao Sect, the disciple of True Monarch Shenxiao Pei Xuanjing.
Therefore, Pang Hong didn’t have much else to say, but he solemnly promised his master that he would not fail the expectations placed on him.
Moreover, having come this far in his cultivation, with a great master before him, the ambition in Pang Hong’s heart was boiling. He, too, wanted to let out his own voice to Heaven and Earth, to establish his own authority.
“Your teacher believes in you, you are second to none at this moment,” said Pei Xuanjing with a gentle smile on his face, “Go forth and fully display all you have, let the world be astonished by you, let your teacher take pride in you.”
His disciple was second to none, having kept a low profile for so many years, it was time to showcase his presence to Heaven and Earth.
“Yes, master!” A passionate glint flashed in Pang Hong’s eyes, his fighting spirit rising, a surge of boldness emerging.
After Pang Hong departed, Pei Xuanjing’s figure gradually vanished as well, as this was one of his avatars. Pei Xuanjing’s true form was still remaining within his Divine Kingdom.
As a newly ascended True Immortal, Pei Xuanjing, though having completed the construction of his Divine Kingdom, recognized that the continued development and perfection of the Divine Kingdom were necessary. However, with the experience of constructing the Longevity World, Pei Xuanjing was naturally taking it in his stride.
Aside from concurrently working on perfecting his Divine Kingdom, Pei Xuanjing was also continuing his deductions and research on the pathways for other types of Dao-certifying True Immortals.
Heaven, Earth, Human, God, Ghost—five pathways to become a Dao-certifying True Immortal. Among them, the Dao of Spirit Immortals had already been ascended by Pei Xuanjing. After becoming a True Immortal, when Pei Xuanjing once again turned to look at these things he had deduced in the past, he naturally had different insights, which was an unquestionable fact.

Before stepping into this Realm, even if one was extremely close to it, all deductions and speculations were mostly like looking at flowers through fog, ultimately missing a layer of truth. It was only after truly stepping into the True Immortal Realm that one could understand the nature of this Realm. All the confusions and doubts that were shrouded in one’s heart were lifted in an instant, and the perplexities were completely dispelled.
The way of the Heavenly Immortal was ethereal, and the original Pei Xuanjing found the Dao of the Heavenly Immortal to be incredibly profound. He always felt something was missing and that his Dao of the Heavenly Immortal could not be thoroughly comprehended. But now, Pei Xuanjing understood, when he had formed the Golden Core Dao and created his own Golden Core Dao, the path to Heavenly Immortal had already been well laid out.
By today, Pei Xuanjing, even though he had advanced from the Dao of Spirit Immortals to a True Immortal, still had a Golden Core at the sixth turn and had not reached the seventh turn of the Golden Core as initially envisioned.
“The Golden Core Dao is my way to Heavenly Immortality. Heavenly Immortals are those who forge their own Dao and condense their own unique Laws. Refining Essence into Qi, refining Qi into Spirit, refining Spirit to return to the Void, and refining the Void to unite with the Dao—this most puristic method of refining Qi is the way of the Heavenly Immortal. My Golden Core Dao goes a step further on this foundation, refining Essence, Qi, and Spirit all at the same time. When my Essence, Qi, and Spirit are refined and polished perfectly and reach the Golden Core Seventh Turn, I will be able to advance to the Realm of refining the Void and uniting with the Dao,” divine light burst forth from Pei Xuanjing’s eyes.
Heavenly Immortals are those whose divine light shines universally, manifesting in myriad forms. Once attained, it is held forever; once enlightened, it is always certifying. Their Divine Abilities are magnificent, and their Magical Power knows no bounds. When Heaven and Earth close, they do not close alike; when Heaven and Earth open, they create passages for others.
His way of the Heavenly Immortal was already prepared. The next step was to continuously refine Essence, Qi, and Spirit, waiting for the day when everything would naturally fall into place to step into the Realm of True Immortal of the Heavenly Immortal way.
“For the Earth Immortal way, having already created my own Small Thousand World, all I need to do is to carry on transforming the Longevity World, teaching my Dao to the beings of the Longevity World, and allowing my Dao to evolve into a civilization. That will be the day when I ascend to the Dao of the Earth Immortal and become a True Immortal.”
“For the Human Immortal way, by unlocking Divine Hidden, before becoming a True Immortal, my body was already tempered in the Chaos Void and transformed into a Half Demon Body. I am just one step away from unlocking Divine Hidden. Now that I have become a True Immortal and my body is purified by the Law of Heaven and Earth, my body becomes even more formidable as a divine physique. Although unlocking Divine Hidden is more difficult, it is without a doubt a deepening of my foundation, a gain in itself. Moreover, should I ascend the path of Human Immortal in my Mortal Flesh or should I completely transform my Half Demon Body into a Demonic God Physique before unlocking Divine Hidden? The difference between these two is absolutely huge.”
“The way of the Ghost Immortal is elusive, for this path is one of refining the Spirit, different from the Dao of Spirit Immortals’ method of refining the Spirit. Ghosts are Yin Spirits, ambiguous within the Yin, maintaining only a wisp of Yin Spirit without dissipation. However, amongst Heaven and Earth, there are no situations that guarantee death, and all things have a glimmer of hope. Though the path of the Ghost Immortal’s Yin Spirit is difficult, if one can be unwavering, temper the Divine Soul, from the extremity of Yin transform into Yang, and from within the Yin Spirit birth that bit of pure Chunyang to refine the spirit into divinity, it is then possible to become an undying, indestructible Yin Spirit.”
In his heart, Pei Xuanjing meticulously contemplated the five ways of enlightenment to True Immortality of Heaven, Earth, Human, God, Ghost. His thoughts were free and unrestrained, making bold conjectures and assumptions without any restrictions or limitations, simply because he was a pioneer, with no previous examples to reference and equally unbound by any pre-set course.
Whether it is the five paths of Dao-Certifying True Immortality of Heaven, Earth, Human, God, Ghost, they all evolve from their own beings’ Essence, Qi, and Spirit. This is the foundation of everything, and refining Essence, Qi, and Spirit are the most fundamental forms of Cultivation.
From this perspective, the difference between Ghost Immortals and Spirit Immortals is that Spirit Immortals have a corporeal form, while Ghost Immortals are incorporeal. The core for both is refining Spirit, but the difference lies in Spirit Immortals refining the divine physique, while Ghost Immortals refine the indestructible pure Chunyang.
By the same reasoning, then Heavenly Immortals and Spirit Immortals, Heavenly Immortals and Earth Immortals, Human Immortals and Spirit Immortals, Human Immortals and Heavenly Immortals, Earth Immortals and Ghost Immortals are all interconnected. If, in the future, they are all Dao-Certified jointly, it would not be impossible for them to transform into one another and progress side by side.
